Gold chandeliers hang heavy in the hall Diamonds on the wrist but they mean nothing at all I've walked on marble floors, so cold, so bare But warmth was missing–no one's there You can keep the gold Keep the shine All I need is your hand in mine Velvet dreams can't compare to this Love is the ultimate luxury It's bliss I've dined on plates of silver Drank the finest wine But none of it could fill this heart of mine A palace is a prison when you're all alone Your heartbeat's the only throne I've ever known It's not the jewels It's not the silk It's the way you laugh It's the way we tilt You can keep the gold Keep the shine All I need is your hand in mine Velvet dreams can't compare to this Love is the ultimate luxury It's bliss No mansion walls No painted skies Can match the light in your eyes (in your eyes) No treasure chest No diamond sea Could ever mean more than you to me You can keep the gold Keep the shine All I need is your hand in mine Velvet dreams can't compare to this Love is the ultimate luxury It's bliss
